What is the size of the Harlington-Straker sign outside SHADO's HQ
that you can see in the opening sequence as welll as throughout most
of the episodes?
a) Small, about 4-2 sq. ft
b) Medium size, about 10x5 sq. ft
c) Fairly big, at least about 20x8 sq. ft
Answer below!!
Ans: A) fairly small, about 4x2 sq. feet!!!
I realize most readers here knew the answer, but it wasn't until
today when watching EXPOSED on DVD that I finally noticed the sign
in another shot, and it looked so small! It took me 30 years to
realize this :-) :-). I hadn't been able to notice that detail when
watching my tapes before. It's amazing how the shot in the intro
sequence makes the sign and the building behind it, look so big! But
in reality that wasn't the case. Kind of reminds me about the United
Nations building in New York, I always thought it was a huge
building, but when you are there, it looks fairly small.
Or for that matter, the mission control room at the Johnson Space
Center in Houston TX, in the movies it looks huge, but in reality it
is very small. Uuoops, going off topic here...
